SUMMARY:Deb Stoner at Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Deb Stoner\, Pay Attention To What You Pay Attention To \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’s\nBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, March 21st\, 2018 at Noon \nPortland Art Museum\nMiller Gallery in the Mark building\n1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205\nwww.portlandartmuseum.org\n503 226 2811\nCost: Free to the public. \n  \nFor this presentation\, I’ll talk about my life and career as an artist. I’ll tell you about my work of part-time teaching\, making art objects for others\, designing eyewear for fashion industry\, and running a small business. I’ll show you the work I did that led me through designing\, making and teaching about eyewear as a jeweler\, and how that informed and directed me in making my current work. Photography has always been a part of it\, but had been the part of my artistic practice that gets attention when I’m not too busy doing other things to earn a living. In the past five years\, that has changed\, with my full time commitment to making still life photographs of flora and tiny fauna. I’ll show you lots of images that might increase your awareness of how beautiful the world is\, and what inspires me. I’ll tell you about the technology I use to make my work\, and I’ll reveal the secret of how it is that the grasshopper is as big as the watermelon in this picture\, without using digital trickery. \nDeb Stoner is a fine art photographer with deep roots in craft. Deb creates still life photographs that are complex visual constructs made using the flora and fauna of a very small region\, usually her neighborhood. Her work involves growing plants (or making friends with gardeners)\, collecting and mounting insects\, and paying attention to small ephemeral events to make images with in real time. She earned an MFA in Applied Design from SDSU\, a BS in Geology from UC Davis\, and has taught in the Jewelry and Metals Department at Oregon College of Art and Craft since 1991\, except for a few years along the way. Deb is known for her work in designing and making eyewear from a jeweler’s point of view\, for developing new ideas in eyewear for the fashion industry\, and for teaching those ideas to students in over fifty workshops at craft centers worldwide. As a photographer\, Deb had a solo show at the Camerawork Gallery\, was a Critical Mass finalist and a speaker at the SPE NW Regional Conference in 2015\, a year-long solo exhibit at the Portland International Airport in 2016\, a solo exhibition with Vernissage in Portland in 2017\, and a recent lecture and exhibition at the Yuma Art Center/Symposium. Her photographs are in the public art collections of PCC\, the University of Oregon\, the Port of Portland\, OHSU\, the homes of many collectors\, and in the juried NW Viewing Drawers at Blue Sky Gallery each year since 2015. \n

SUMMARY:manuel arturo abreu and Christopher Paul Jordan at Marylhurst University (Art Gym)
DESCRIPTION:manuel arturo abreu and Christopher Paul Jordan\, Place Names \nMarch 20\, 2018 – May 20\, 2018\nOpening Reception: March 18\, 2018 from 5 – 7pm \nArt Gym\nMarylhurst University\n17600 Pacific Highway (Hwy. 43)\nMarylhurst\, OR 97036-0261\nhttp://theartgym.org/ \nGallery Hours\nTuesday – Sunday\, Noon to 4 pm\nClosed March 30 – April 1\, 2018 (Easter Weekend)\nAdmission: Free to the public.\nParking is free.  The gallery is located on the third floor of the central building on campus – BP John\, on the south side of the building. \nPlace Names is an exhibition by regional artists manuel arturo abreu (Portland\, OR) and Christopher Paul Jordan (Tacoma\, WA). Through painting\, sculpture\, built environments\, and explorations of language\, Place Names explores the abstracted visual and emotional cues that influence how a sense a “place” is communicated. The artists each construct visual narratives from notions of the geographical and cultural locales that have been generative to their thinking as artists and poets. The works in Place Names appropriate objects such as stray window frames\, graffiti-laden panels\, well-worn maps\, and evocations of their workspaces as signifiers of the cultural\, economic\, and racial influences within inherited identity. \nmanuel arturo abreu (b. 1991\, Santo Domingo) is an artist and writer from the Bronx. They received their BA in Linguistics from Reed College in 2014\, and currently lives and works in a garage in southeast Portland. Recent group exhibitions with Rhizome and the New Museum (online)\, the Cooley Gallery (Portland)\, Chicken Coop Contemporary (Portland)\, Veronica project space (Seattle)\, and AA|LA Gallery (Los Angeles). Recent publications in Art in America\, Rhizome\, CURA\, SFMoMA Open Space\, AQNB\, et al. abreu is the author of List of Consonants (Bottlecap Press\, 2015) and transtrender (Quimérica Books\, 2016)\, and their debut collection of critical writing is forthcoming 2018. \nChristopher Paul Jordan integrates virtual and physical public space to form infrastructures for dialogue and self-determination among dislocated people. Jordan’s paintings and sculptures are artifacts from his work in community and time-capsules for expanded inquiry. Jordan is a recipient of the 2017 Neddy Artists Award for painting\, the Jon Imber Painting Fellowship\, the GTCF Foundation of Art Award\, the James W Ray Venture Project Award\, and the most recent summer commission for Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. \nPlace Names is the inaugural exhibition curated by Ashley Stull Meyers\, the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Director and Curator of the Art Gym and Belluschi Pavilion\, Marylhurst University. \n

SUMMARY:Jennifer L. Stoots\, Follow The Money
DESCRIPTION:March 15th\, 2018 from 7:00-9:00pm \nDisjecta Contemporary Art Center8371 N.    Interstate Ave.Portland\, OR 97217 \nTICKETS  $10 (pre-event)  / $15 (at door) \nJoin us for an evening educational discussion\, Follow the Money\, presented by Jennifer L. Stoots\, AAA. This is the first in a quarterly event series produced by Photolucida that will take place in the Disjecta Arts Building in Historic Kenton. \nAt a fundamental level\, the basics of the art business are no different than any other time in history; the tools\, mediums and tastes have changed\, but the art market has patterns as well as cycles. The art world can be deliberately cloistered and the market mystifying for many. The aim of this lecture will be to demystify and illuminate based on Stoots’s experience working at galleries\, art fairs and as an art & photography appraiser. Many of the issues and topics addressed are relevant to many fine art photographers and artists who work in the medium today. \nThis presentation will briefly review: \n\nThe evolution of the Western art market.\nThe motivations of invention and the birth of the photo industry.\nThe “modern medium” and its acceptance as an art form.\nSnowballing of the photography market in the 1970s and 1980s\, when there was a flourish of photography galleries in the US and major auction houses dedicated departments exclusively to photo.\nTop selling photographers and photographs—auction records and what’s interesting about the markets where those top tier prices were achieved.\nThe current landscape of the fine art photography market\, including a discussion of art fairs and online platforms.\n\nJennifer L. Stoots\, AAA\, is a certified photography appraiser\, accredited by the Appraisers Association of America. She has been professionally involved in the arts for 24 years\, has managed and worked with galleries for 20 years\, and has been appraising contemporary art\, photographs and photographic archives for 16 years. She is also a photography historian\, writer\, art market consultant\, and organizes workshops and presentations centered around legacy and estate planning for artists and photographers.Stoots earned her Bachelor’s in Art History from the University of Oregon (1994)\, her Master’s in the History of Art & Design from Pratt Institute (2013)\, and her appraising credentials from NYU’s Appraisal Studies Program for Fine and Decorative Arts (2002). \nWebsite: http://www.stootsllc.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stoots.jennifer/\n

This year\, once again\, we accept submissions without charging fees.

Zeb Andrews is a Portland-based photographer who has lived his entire life in the Pacific Northwest. The majority of his work week is spent immersed in photography while working at Blue Moon Camera and Machine in North Portland. Much of his inspiration comes from the photographers and photography he sees circulate through that store on a daily basis\, and he in turn loves passing that along. Zeb was an instructor at Newspace Center for Photography for seven years and frequently gives presentations to local high school and college photography programs on all things photographic. When he isn’t at work or enthralled in a class lecture he can often be found on some windswept beach or quietly verdant forest\, camera in hand. \nLightBox will be picking up accepted work at Blue Moon Camera and Machine on Saturday\, April 8th at 4pm. You may drop your accepted work at Blue Moon prior to that date for pickup by LightBox.

SUMMARY:Austin Granger at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Austin Granger\, Correspondence \nMarch 10th – April 10th\, 2018\nOpening and Artists’ Reception: Saturday\, March 10\, 5-8pm \nAustin Granger will give an artist talk from 4-5pm\, before the opening\,\ncontact LightBox at 503-468-0238 or info@lightbox-photographic.com\nfor limited available reserved seating. \nLightBox Photographic Gallery\n1045 Marine Dr.\nAstoria\, OR 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nlightbox-photographic.com\nhttp://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/austin_granger_correspondence \nAustin Granger is a prolific photographic image maker living in the great northwest in Portland\, Oregon. “Correspondence” is a personal narrative of imagery from his daily wanderings. A very insightful and inventive image maker\, Austin carries an array of favorite traditional film cameras with him everywhere. We are happy to present 60 Platinum/Palladium Prints\, filling the LightBox walls with wonderful handmade prints of Austin’s beautiful work. \n“When I’m photographing well\, I have the most uncanny feeling that the pictures are predestined. I recognize them. They echo the feelings inside myself. They correspond. My subjects are the things that ache. \nWhether or not I can portray feelings using objects that may not ostensibly depict those feelings is something that I wrestle with. People see things differently. After all\, we bring our minds–all of those thoughts that make us–to our looking at things. In a very real way\, pictures are always of our heads. They’re all self-portraits. Still\, I’d like to think that it’s possible to put something across\, to bridge the gap\, meet a stranger in the middle\, and connect. After all\, do we not all share the same basic\, existential struggles? Fundamentally\, deep down\, are we not all made of the same stuff? \nPerhaps then\, by going inward\, one goes outward as well. Perhaps one can approach the universal through the individual. I’d like to think so. I’ve come to think of my pictures as an attempt to understand myself\, and also\, as an attempt to communicate. I want to express emotions that people will recognize. I want my pictures to be a correspondence between us\, to be both the place and the record of our meeting.” ~ Austin Granger \nAustin Granger is the author of Elegy from the Edge of a Continent: Photographing Point Reyes. Born in San Francisco in 1970\, Granger has worked as a baker\, house painter\, naval radar operator and camera salesman. He first began to photograph while studying philosophy in college as a way to get out of his head. Preferring to use traditional film cameras\, Granger has come to see his photography as a spiritual practice–a way in which to shape his life and enrich his relationship with the world. \nThe exhibit runs from March 10th through April 10th 2018. Visit http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/ for complete exhibit and artist info. LightBox offers associate memberships as a way of becoming part of the community of supporters that help to further the mission of the gallery.

SUMMARY:Ron Shufflebarger at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Ron Shufflebarger\, Hult Pond – A Mystical Place \nThe show runs from March 10th through May 10th\nThere will be an artist reception on Saturday March 10th from 3-6 pm. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste. B\nEugene\, OR 97405\n541 729 3572\nOpen weekdays\, call to be sure we’re open.\nEmail: waltobrien1945@gmail.com\nWebsite:  http://obrienimaging.com/gallery.htm \nHult Lake is a very beautiful area with still waters and clinging clouds. I return ever so often and have continually been offered images that I find to be not only beautiful but abstract and mysterious.  —Ron S. \nRon Shufflebarger was a furniture designer and builder out of a small shop\, and after a pro photographer friend introduced him to digital\, he was hooked. He found it a perfect excuse to take a break from the tedious operations of woodworking\, to use photography to share his vision.When he and his wife retired they moved to Eugene Oregon and\, for Ron a whole new genre of photography confronted him. The coastal range is\nvery complex and doesn’t lend itself to a minimalist eye. He had to re-evaluate what he was seeing and look far into the interplay of moss\, trees\, light\, and form. \nHe found a serene beauty that is unique to the area and was forever hooked. He has always loved the beauty of the landscape and the juxtaposition of the subject\, but also seeks out the interest in all venues whether street\, architectural\, or macro photography. He loves it all. He found inspiration from several photographers including Dorothea Lange and Edward Weston\, but the true beauty of photography is the quest for the ultimate image\, and once you find it\, you are off for the next one. \n“These words are so true; ‘It is the journey’ that is the spiritual path and the quest is very often a meditation.” —Ron S. \nHis work can be seen online at: http://www.pbase.com/ron9ron \n

SUMMARY:"In a Different Light" Panel Discussion at Maude Kerns Art Center in Eugene
DESCRIPTION:In A Different LightRich Bergeman\, Phil Coleman\, Sandi O’Brien\, Jack Larson\, Paul Barden \nFebruary 23 – March 23\, 2018Opening reception: Friday\, February 23\, 6-8 pmArtists’ Panel Discussion: Thursday\, March 8\, 6-7:30 pm \nMaude Kerns Art Center1910 E. 15th Ave.Eugene\, Ore. 97403(541) 345-1571www.mkartcenter.orgHours: Tues-Fri\, 10 am – 5:30 pm; Sat\, 12 – 4 pm \nFive Willamette Valley photographers will show recent infrared images in and exhibit titled “In a Different Light.” The exhibit takes its name from the fact that infrared photography sees the world in a way that is not visible to the naked eye. Infrared light lies just above the visible spectrum\, between 700 and 900 nanometers (nm) in wave length\, whereas the human eye is sensitive from about 400nm (blue) to about 700nm (red). But even though the higher infrared range doesn’t register with our eyes\, it can be recorded with special black-and-white films and with converted digital imaging sensors. Examples of both techniques are represented in the show. \n“The world of infrared is quite different from what we’re used to seeing\,” said Rich Bergeman\, who brought the photographers together for the exhibit. “It can create surreal\, dream-like images\, while in other cases it produces a more subtle shift in tones.” \nIn the natural landscape\, most organic objects\, especially plants\, reflect more infrared light than do inorganic things like water\, rocks and the sky. In black-and-white IR photography\, this usually results in dramatic skies and snowy-looking landscapes. In color infra-red photographs\, blues often dominate\, and the effects are even more pronounced where ever sunlight strikes.Each of the photographers in the show has decades of experience with various forms of photography. Some began exploring infrared in the past decade after converting digital cameras to record IR light\, while others have been using black-and-white infrared film for many years. \nThe photographers will talk about their work at a panel discussion on Thursday March 8 from 6-7:30 pm in the arts center.

SUMMARY:Kevin Shick at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Shick\, The Commuters \nMarch 3rd – March 30th\, 2018 \nCamerawork Gallery\n2255 NW Northrup Street\n(Linfield School of Nursing – Peterson Hall)\nPortland\, OR 97210\nhttp://www.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nhttp://www.facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\nGallery Hours: 9am-4pm\, Monday-Friday\, Saturday 9am-5pm \nIndiana Photographer Kevin Shick notes\, “The Commuters series depicts the daily lives of commuters on the Rock Island train line in Chicago\, just minutes from their arrival at the terminal. I see these candid street portraits as windows into each rider’s personal outlook and the experiences that may have created that outlook. \n“I photographed the riders\, taking pictures almost every day for several months\, discovering in the process that many riders stood in the same place\, doing the same thing\, often wearing similar clothes and expressions. \n“Others\, whether they were happy\, pensive\, worried\, or self-distracted with a smartphone\, seemed to have their actions and outlooks determined less as the result less of conscious choice than as the result of unconscious habit or unknown personal experiences. \n“Because of the time and place where they are taken\, these portraits reveal true identities\, as opposed to the public mask we often wear. As Luc Sante wrote in Walker Evans’ book of subway portraits Many Are Called\, “time spent commuting is a hiatus from social interaction…you can take off the face you wear for the benefit of others”.” \nWe can all relate to the daily commute as a transition from our personal lives to our working lives and back. Each of us has\, by nature or habit\, a unique view on life that is revealed in the unguarded moments during this transition. As James Agee wrote in Many Are Called\, “Each [person]…is an individual existence\, as matchless as a thumbprint or snowflake. … Each carries in the postures of his body\, in his hands\, in his face\, in the eyes\, the signatures of a time and a place in the world.” \nKevin Shick is a fine art photographer whose work explores the human condition and the contemporary American experience. By observing the public and private spaces where our interaction with each other and with the environment occurs\, he aims to reveal our collective contemporary culture and individual states of mind. He got started in photography over 40 years ago by developing and printing family portraits in a wet darkroom\, and by exploring nature with an Argus Rangefinder during family trips to Yosemite and the Sierras. Since then he has continued to study the juxtaposed urban and natural landscapes\, seeking situations where light and moment come together to reveal insights about human nature.\nShick has a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois\, and an MBA from the University of Chicago. Following a career in technology and consulting\, he now pursues a photographic life. His work has been exhibited and published nationally\, and is included in several private collections. He lives most of the year near the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore\, traveling frequently with his wife in their RV. \nwww.KevinShick.com \n

SUMMARY:Smith Eliot "Ghost Ships" at Wolff Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Smith Eliot\, Ghost Ships \nFebruary 28th – April 29th\, 2018\nOpening Reception March 2nd\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm \nWolff Gallery\n2804 SE Ankeny St. Portland OR 97214\nWednesday – Sunday 11:00 am – 6:00 pm\nwolffgallerypdx@gmail.com\nwww.wolffgallery.com \nLegend has it that the Octavius\, a three-masted schooner\, was found adrift by a whaling boat in October of 1775. A search party of five from the whaler climbed aboard the Octavius and discovered the entire crew of twenty-eight fully dressed and frozen at the helm. The captain was seated at his desk\, pen in hand…also frozen. According to his log\, last dated October of 1762\, the Octavius had been lost at sea for over thirteen years.\nInspired by tales of ships floating aimlessly in open waters\, suddenly abandoned or with passengers and crews left in various stages of decomposition\, Smith Eliot’s Ghost Shipsconsists of photographs and objects that position people as these vessels adrift\, and as similarly impermanent\, transient\, and mysterious entities. Eliot’s images are the result of digital and analogue photographic processes\, encased in vintage frames with convex glass to visually reference ships’ portholes. Many of these frames also function as time capsules and contain small objects alongside the artist’s photographs. \nAs part of her solo exhibition\, Eliot will also present a selection of her Little Boxes\, which focus on the passing of time\, memory\, and challenging relationships. These one-of-a-kind objects include the artist’s original photographs\, antique doll parts\, found animal bones\, insects\, and old books. In many cases viewers must touch\, unlock\, and open each box before many of these surprises may be revealed.\nSmith Eliot is a visual artist and analogue photographer who has been creating mixed media artworks since 1986. She was raised in Germany and lived in cities all across the United States before landing in Portland\, Oregon in 1996. Her work has been exhibited nationally\, won numerous awards\, and has been featured in photography publications such as Diffusion\, Shots\, B&W Magazine\, and Bokeh\, as well as in literary journals such as Calyx. She currently teaches darkroom photography at Portland Community College and at Clackamas Community College. \n

SUMMARY:Rachel Wolf at Angst Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Wolf\, Suspended Resonance  \nMarch 2nd – March 24th\, 2018 \nFirst Friday Opening Reception: March 2nd\, 5-9pm \nAngst Gallery\n1015 Main Street\nVancouver\, WA 98660\nangstgallery.com \nOne of the unique properties of silhouettes is their capacity to capture shadows\, holding onto to them through the tracings photography and other media make. Historically\, this has given silhouettes the ability to span time—to fuse together the past and present—in a similar manner as photography. Both have the ability to seize what is ephemeral\, an absence that is a presence. \nSuspended Resonance is a collection of photogram portraits. Photograms\, a camera-less process of working directly on photographic paper with light and chemicals\, make visible what is invisible. These often invisible primary photographic elements become coupled with fleeting and immaterial shadows in the tangible photograph itself. \nFor more information about the artist visit: rachelwolf.com \n

SUMMARY:Michal Cala at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Michał Cała\, Silesia \nMarch 1st – April 1st\, 2018\nFirst Thursday Opening Reception: March 1st 6:00 – 9:00 PM (calendar) \nArtist Talk: Saturday\, March 31st\, 3:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\n503-225-0210\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm\nFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pm\nbluesky@blueskygallery.org\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/ \nFrom 1975-1992\, Michał Cała photographed the Silesia region in his home country of Poland. In the 1970s and early 1980s the area was at its peak of industrial development and mining activity\, providing mass employment at the expense of the environment and public health. Cala remembers his first impression of Silesia as “terrifying and beautiful at the same time\,” leading him to focus his camera on the natural and altered landscape as well as its inhabitants. Although the mines\, factories\, laborers’ housing districts\, and slag heaps no longer exist\, the artist’s gelatin silver prints serve as as an unsettling yet intriguing visual record of this recent period in Polish history. \nMichał Cała was born in Toruń\, Poland in 1948 and studied aircraft construction at the University of Technology in Warsaw in the early 1970s. From 1974 to 1983 he worked as an engineer in various companies in Silesia and began photographing in the area. In 1977 he moved to Tychy in Upper Silesia\, where he co-founded the photographers’ association KRON and became a member of the ZPAF\, the Union of Polish Art Photographers. In 2007 he was named one of most important Polish photographers in the last century and participated in the group exhibition Polish Photography in the 20th Century shown in Warsaw and in Vilnius\, Lithuania. Cala’s work is in several museum collections\, including in the Silesian Museum of Katowice\, the Silesian Library in Katowice\, the Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom\, the Coal Mining Museum in Zabrze\, and in the local government building in Duisburg in the Ruhr\, Germany\, and various private collections. Publications on his work include The Anthology of Polish Photography 1839–1989\, The Masters of Polish Landscape\, and Polish Photography in the 20th Century. Cala now lives in Bielsko-Biała in Poland and is represented by MMX Gallery in London. \n

SUMMARY:Zun Lee at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Zun Lee\, Father Figure \nMarch 1st – April 1st\, 2018\nFirst Thursday Opening Reception: March 1st 6:00 – 9:00 PM \nArtist Talk: Saturday\, March 3rd\, 3:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\n503-225-0210\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm\nFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pm\nbluesky@blueskygallery.org\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/ \n“My own journey of identity formation and cultural belonging formed the motivation for this visual exploration of fatherhood. I used my lived experience of being nurtured by African American families and father figures since my early childhood while dealing with my personal history of paternal abandonment. This helped me build a specific visual vocabulary that guided me through this work.” \nIn Father Figure\, Zun Lee offers an intimate view of the daily lives of Black fathers with whom he has worked closely since 2011—men from the Bronx\, Harlem\, and Washington Heights in New York who are often parenting within difficult economic and personal circumstances. Through his touching and honest black-and-white portraits\, Lee invites us to see these men as dedicated parents who challenge stereotypes of Black masculinity and absent fathers.\n\nDr. Zun Lee is a Canadian visual artist\, physician\, and educator whose work encourages alternate ways of thinking about community and belonging. He was born and raised in Germany and has also lived in Atlanta\, Philadelphia\, and Chicago. Intersubjectivity and trust dynamics are an important component of Lee’s work as he embeds himself in his subjects’ daily lives to uncover stories of identity and connection. Lee has exhibited solo shows at Duke University\, the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture and BAND Gallery in Toronto\, Jefferson School of African American Heritage Center in Charlottesville\, VA\, and Galerie Jed Voras in Paris. Selected honors and awards include: Art Gallery of Ontario Artist-in-Residence (2017)\, Magnum Foundation Fellow (2015)\, Photo District News Photo Annual Winner (2015)\, Paris Photo/Aperture Photobook Awards Shortlist (2014)\, and Photo District News’ 30 New and Emerging Photographers to Watch (2014).\n \n

SUMMARY:William Anthony\, "Time Slip" Dragster Series: A Return to Analog
DESCRIPTION:Portland Art Museum Photography Council’s\nBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, February 21\, 2018 at Noon \nPortland Art Museum\nMiller Gallery in the Mark building\n1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205\nwww.portlandartmuseum.org\n503 226 2811\nCost: Free to the public. \nEvery Wednesday night during the summer\, Portland International Raceway hosts E.T. (or “Elapsed Time”) drag racing of NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) dragsters. From under-18 junior-class racers to tricked out top alcohol-burning supercars\, locals from the Portland/Vancouver area congregate to race not so much against each other\, but against time. And in this crucible fueled by a rich mix of gasoline and adrenaline\, Time Slip was born. \nShot entirely with three film cameras and two film stocks\, commercial and editorial photographer William Anthony sought to highlight this unique\, passionate community that has been pursuing the checkered flag for over 40 years. The community remains unchanged\, the recent threats of encroaching development and gentrification put this unique pastime at risk. A fun side project soon became an all-consuming\, weekly addiction and honed William’s photography skills\, reconnecting him to the fundamentals learned decades earlier with vintage\, all-manual cameras and the traditional dark room. \nWilliam Anthony is an award-winning commercial and editorial photographer based in Portland. A former advertising art director\, William’s work strives to honor the deeper stories and concepts he shoots both for himself and while on commission. For the past 13 years\, his career has spanned genres such as advertising\, photojournalism\, portraiture/lifestyle\, travel and social media. While proficient in all new digital technologies\, his skillset is deeply rooted in the fundamentals of analog film photography. \nWilliam has shot for clients such as Alaska Airlines\, BMW Motorcycles\, Microsoft\, Nike\, The North Face\, and Starbucks. \nWilliam lives with his wife in NE Portland and works full-time as servant for two cats he’d much prefer were dogs. When not shooting pictures for a living\, he likes to spend his spare time shooting more pictures. \nAbout the Brown Bag Lunch Talks \nThe Brown Bag Lecture Talk series is a presentation of the Portland Art Museum’s Photography Council and is generously sponsored by Pro Photo Supply. \nAbout the Photography Council \nThe Portland Art Museum Photography Council offers its members unique opportunities to learn more about the history of photography with Julia Dolan\, Ph.D.\, the Museum’s Minor White Curator of Photography. Council membership dues support the acquisition of photographs for the permanent collection. The members’ annual print share meeting\, private tours with Dr. Dolan\, an annual art acquisition meeting\, and special invitations to lectures by renowned photographers are just some of the benefits of Council membership. \nThe Portland Art Museum Photography Council’s Brown Lunch Talk series\, conceived in 2009 by Past Council President Jim Leisy as a means of introducing the Portland photography community to the wealth of talent and creative energy in our region\, has become one of the Council’s most popular public events. Since its inception\, the BBLT has offered over sixty monthly presentations by regional and visiting photographer/artists that are free and open to everyone interested in photographic arts and process. \n

SUMMARY:“Clatsop County” group show in Dundee
DESCRIPTION:Clatsop County\nRoger Dorband\, Ken Hochfeld\, Michael Granger\nPresented by LightBox Photographic Gallery \nJan 15 – March 4\, 2018\nArtist Reception\, Sunday\, February 18\, 2:00-4:00 \nArgyle Tasting House\n691 Highway 99W\nDundee\, Oregon\n503 538-8520 \nplease rsvp to argyle winery at this address if you plan to attend?\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/artist-reception-clatsop-county-registration-42797529563 \nLightBox Photographic Gallery of Astoria presents the work of three photographers who envision the nature of Clatsop County from their unique viewpoint. \nClatsop County is the heart of Oregon’s North Coast. It is a history ladened land that in 1805 became the terminus of Lewis and Clark’s Expedition of Discovery. Six years later\, Astoria\, the county seat of Clatsop County\, became the first U.S. settlement on the Pacific Coast. While its early history is not forgotten it is the climate and the geography that mostly define the special nature of Clatsop County. For photographers working in the area\, the landscape\, the weather and historical elements frequently merge in the fabric of a single image. This might be said of photographs from  anywhere in the country that are taken outside of an urban setting. But when the subject matter includes the beautiful Pacific\, the 4th largest river in the U.S.\, the Great Northwest Rain Forest\, ships in the harbor\, volatile weather conditions\, fog and constantly changing light over the river\, there is increased potential for images rich in beauty\, drama and diversity. \nRoger Dorband\nAstoria\, Oregon \nRoger Dorband is best known for his color landscape books on the Rogue River and Steens Mountain\, the Astoria resident considers himself a “witness” who looks for iconic images that capture the essence of a place. \n“As a photographer my most important bodies of work are series that depict a particular place.  Most notably I have published books on northwest Portland’s Thurman Street\, southern Oregon’s Rogue River and the Steen Mountain area of Malheur County.  Though I consider myself a “photographer of place”\, the landscape has often been central to my work.  When I moved to Astoria ten years ago the big open skies and changeable weather over the Columbia\, and the Pacific beaches inspired me. But before I began getting images I really liked I had to get the usual Astoria photographic subjects out of my system.  So naturally I took the requisite photos of the Megler Bridge\, sunset skies\, the Peter Iredale shipwreck and the sea lions\, none of which rose above many similar photographs I saw of those subjects by other photographers. \nOver time I have studied the history and culture of the North Coast beginning with Washington Irving’s classic book on the founding of Astoria.  What I learned is that the North Coast\, and Astoria in particular\, has been through numerous peaks and valleys in prosperity\, has suffered through catastrophes of fire and wind\, and\, if one looks back far enough\, epic disasters caused by major earthquakes.  In spite of claims made about the beautiful landscape of the North Coast\, the natural resources of the area have been largely exploited as reflected in numerous clear cuts and the absence of old growth trees as well as an extremely depleted fishing industry.  Not that there are no hopeful signs but to me the area is at best one in recovery. \nI believe that seeing the North Coast as I do has brought a deepening to my imagery that includes some sense of loss and perhaps a little of the loneliness one feels next to the immensity of the Pacific.  Paradoxically there is a sense of hope and endurance here too\, perhaps engendered by the history and culture of the area\, which I trust will allow viewers to apprehend the North Coast’s enduring beauty.” ~ Roger Dorband – Raven Studios \nKen Hochfeld\nPortland\, Or. \nKen Hochfeld is a Portland based fine art photographer who sees expressive beauty in the landscape.  Originally from California\, where he graduated with a degree in photo communications from California State University at Fullerton\, he and his wife Carol have lived in Oregon for 40 years.  He finds the natural beauty and lifestyle of the Pacific Northwest emotionally sustaining. \nHochfeld’s toned black and white photographs may reflect upon the scene before him\, but more often are subtly contemplative and sometimes offer clues to his emotions or thoughts.  He typically chooses to make photographs in quiet places that are not typical iconic scenic locations.  Hochfeld says “Occasionally a dramatic scene simply calls on me to make a photograph and I oblige.”  With his most current work\, “Communities of the Lower Columbia River”\, Hochfeld explores human interaction with the landscape.  His photography has been exhibited in various galleries in Oregon\, California\, Colorado\, Texas\, Utah\, Vermont and Washington. \nMichael Granger\nAstoria\, Oregon \nMichael Granger and his wife\, Chelsea Vincent Granger\, opened LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria in June 2009 with the mission to promote creative and alternative photography on the North Coast of Oregon. LightBox exhibits work of photographic artists in juried\, group and solo exhibits. With over 100 exhibits behind them\, LightBox Photographic strives to educate the public about fine art photography\, the varied processes and the unique vision of each photographic artist. Having had a career in fine custom photographic printing\, Michael’s interests concentrate on imagery that speaks to the viewer and the quality of the final photographic print in all mediums. \nHe practices the art of image making and celebrates those that make it to print.

SUMMARY:The Project Salon workshop with Charles Purvis at MICX Studio
DESCRIPTION:February 17 through July 28\, 2018   MICX Studio 6635 N Baltimore Ave Portland\, OR 97203 971-901-7200   12 weeks for $450 For information: https://micxstudio.com/project-salon/  \nThe Project Salon provides a space\, time\, and process for the purpose of creating a body of work (be it an exhibition\, book\, or portfolio) over a extended period of time and with the support of other photographers doing the same.   To really progress as photographers and artists we need to go deep and we need to go deep over an extended period of time. We also need the reflection and support of others who share our passion and commitment to the medium. We learn by doing and we learn by understanding how others experience our work; and in committing to work with others we find a new level of commitment to our own work.   The Project Salon meets for 12 sessions over a 6-month period\, twice a month for 3-4 hours. Participants\, having committed to a project\, present their ongoing work to the group and receive and offer constructive reflection concerning subject\, narrative\, editing\, final form and the general arc and feel of the work. The last 2 weeks focus on editing\, collating\, and final form presentations. The sessions are facilitated by Charles Purvis who offers individual mentoring and support\, both technical and artistic\, for each participant. We also study the work of other photographers as it pertains to our work and process. The Salon is limited to 8 participants. All photographic mediums are welcome.

SUMMARY:Chris Ogden\, Stones Echo - Visual Poems Written On Quarry Walls
DESCRIPTION:February 3rd – March 2nd\, 2018 \nCamerawork Gallery is proud to present the gallery debut of a ten-year project by noted North Carolinian professional artist Chris Ogden. These fine art photographs weave together a trinity of predominant themes played out on the theater of dimensional stone quarry walls: Mystery\, time\, and elemental cyclical changes. \n Ogden notes\, “In the days when stone flowed like water\, time didn’t mean the same thing as it does to us today. Granite\, marble\, travertine\, sandstone\, slate\, basalt . . . these are the children of Kronos. When miners reached under the ribs of the Earth to pull out its still-beating heart and make the Pyramids\, Chartres Cathedral\, the First National Bank\, or a Washington\, D.C.\, they opened a window into the Earth’s crust. Behind such a scrim\, the oldest gods play out their dramas as through an eerily familiar fog. \n “Make no mistake: here too is the hand of man. Yet despite signs of old explosions\, rust\, cuts\, meltings\, tailings\, and drill holes\, Nature remains imperturbable—not serene\, but equanimous\, even generous. She invites meditation. \n “Which is more real\, the reflection of rock\, or the rock? Such questions grew in me during my adolescence\, whether leaping into the swimming hole of an abandoned quarry with the sounds of high school joys and angsts echoing off the walls\, trying to name all the colors of the Grand Canyon—where I bought my first piece of petrified wood for thirty-five cents and decades later kayaked below its towering walls that map histories beyond our comprehension— or craning my head upward from the raging flume’s edge of Franconia Notch to the gorge’s metaphorical and contradictory tableaux. \n “Earth\, I came to realize\, doesn’t mind our anthropomorphic voyeurism. In the stone\, born before human DNA\, we see multiple layers\, histories\, titillations\, the sensuality of the half-understood. We see frozen violence—something taboo\, as if we had walked in on a patient. As a photographer\, I feel the awe of the surgeon. \n “As Native Americans thanked their prey for giving themselves in the hunt\, so we must turn here to a generous landscape to say\, “We honor you\, we thank you.” I hope you’ll find these photos both evocative and provocative. I invite you to view each as a stepping stone backward and forward into time\, expanding outward across the universe and inward into our existential component parts\, both tangible and not. In another billion years\, what will this planet look like?”

SUMMARY:Angelica Dass\, HUMANÆ - Work In Progress
DESCRIPTION:OPEN/CLOSE: February 2\, 2018 –March 26th\, 2018 \nPushdot Studio is honored to be working in conjunction with Angelica Dass to bring her internationally acclaimed project\, Humanae- Work in Progress to the West Coast of the United States for the first time. We believe the artist’s vision presents a unique reflection on race\, it’s definition and it’s impact on our social dialogue. We invite you to view this powerful exhibit and participate in the conversation surrounding this highly charged topic. \nHumanæ is a “work in progress” by the Brazilian Angélica Dass\, who intends to deploy a chromatic range of the different human skin colors. Those who pose are volunteers who have known the project and decide to participate. There is no previous selection of participants and there are no classifications relating to nationality\, gender\, age\, race\, social class or religion. Nor is there an explicit intention to finish it on a specific date. It is open in all senses and it will include all those who want to be part of this colossal global mosaic. The only limit would be reached by completing all of the world’s population. \nHowever\, this taxonomy close to Borges´ world\, adopts the format of the PANTONE ® guides\, which gives the collection a degree of hierarchical horizontality that dilutes the false preeminence of some races over others based on skin color or social condition. \nThese guidelines have become one of the main systems of color classification\, which are represented by means of an alphanumeric code\, allowing to recreate them accurately in any medium: is a technical-industrial standard. The process followed in Humanæ also is rigorous and systematic: the background for each portrait is tinted with a color tone identical to a sample of 11 x 11 pixels taken from the face of the photographed. Aligned as in the famous samples\, its horizontality is not only formal also is ethical. \nThus\, without fuss\, with the extraordinary simplicity of this semantic metaphor\, the artist makes an “innocent” displacement of the socio-political context of the racial problem to a safe medium\, the guides\, where the primary colors have exactly the same importance that the mixed ones. It even dilutes the figure of power that usually the photographer holds. The use of codes and visual materials belonging to the imagery that we all share\, leaves in the background the self-referentiality of the artist\, insistent and often tiresome. \nMany of the ingredients that characterize the [best] spirit of this time appear to be part of this project: shared authorship\, active solidarity and local proposals likely to operate globally\, networking\, communication expanded to alternative spaces of debate\, awareness without political ideology\, social horizontality… The spectator is invited to press the share button in his brain. \nAt present\, more than 3700 images exist in the project. They have been taken to 28cities\, in 18 different countries: Madrid\, Barcelona\, Getxo\, Bilbao\, and Valencia\, Paris\, Bergen\, Winterthur\, Chaisso (Switzerland)\, Groningen\, The Hague (Netherlands)\, Dublin\, London\, Tyumen (Russia)\, Gibellina\, and Vita (Italy)\, Vancouver (Canada)\, Pittsburgh\, and Chicago (USA)\, Quito (Ecuador)\, Calparaiso (Chile)\, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)\, Cordoba (Argentina)\, New Delhi (India)\, Daegu (South Korea)\, Addis Abeba (Ethiopia)\, Chiasso (Switzerland). \nAngélica Dass is a Spanish-Brazilian artist based in Madrid. She has received international acclaim through her pivotal project\, Humanæ\, which is a collection of photography portraits of people revealing the true beauty of human skin color. This project has been shown in numerous exhibitions and talks across the continents\, and through her TED Global talk in Vancouver in 2016\, her main concerns and the philosophies of the project have reached a great numbers of audiences around the world. Dass holds a BA in Fine Arts from the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ\, Brazil) and a MA in Photography from EFTI (Spain). In 2014 she was selected by TIME Magazine as one of the “Nine Brazilian Photographers You Need to Follow”.
